Wellerman Lyrics

There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea The winds blew up, her bow dipped down O blow, my bully boys, blow Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Before the boat had hit the water The whale's tail came up and caught her All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her When she dived down low Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go No line was cut, no whale was freed The Captain's mind was not of greed And he belonged to the whaleman's creed She took that ship in tow Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go For forty days, or even more The line went slack, then tight once more All boats were lost, there were only four But still that whale did go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go As far as I've heard, the fight's still on The line's not cut and the whale's not gone The Wellerman makes his regular call To encourage the Captain, crew, and all Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go #Wellerman​ #SeaShanty​ #Shanty​ #ShantyTok​

Russian Hot Chocolate

Serves 2

Enough of your milk of choice to fill two mugs (I use semi skimmed organic cows milk) 

1. 1 fresh red chilli
2. 50g of fairtrade dark chocolate
3. 1 tsp ground cinnamon
4. 1 tsp honey
5. 1 pinch ground ginger
6. Entirely optional – a pinch of vanilla infused sea 

Please  microwave to melt the chocolate or  just grate the chocolate and chuck it straight into the warm milk (it will just take a little bit longer to dissolve). I have included two methods here – one for chilli fiends and one that is a little more restrained.

Method 1 - 😋Delicately warming😋
Make two incisions down the sides of your red chilli but not enough to cut it in half or expose the seeds. Put the chilli, milk and spices into a pan and warm gently for five minutes. Melt the chocolate in the microwave on a low heat. Add the honey and melted chocolate to the milk and heat gently for another ten minutes until the milk thickens slightly. Remove the chilli before serving.

Method 2 – 💥Seriously spicy💥
Cut the chilli in half and remove the seeds. Put one chilli half and all of the milk and spices into a pan and warm gently for five minutes. Melt the chocolate in the microwave on a low heat. Remove the chilli from the milk. Add in the honey and melted chocolate and heat gently for another ten minutes until the milk thickens slightly.
